Verdict

HERE NOW AND WHY has been getting closer and is dropping down a grade after a third over course and distance recently. He should come out best with a similar effort ahead of Beauty Pageant. The latter has claims with an apprentice's allowance helping her cause after making the frame at Kempton during the week. Mr Snooks ran into a place over track and trip on his penultimate start and Cheyenne Red has separated a couple of poor efforts with a second at Carlisle.
